  This weekend I was surfing on the internet, to find some antiques dealers addresses in the UK, and came across some wonderful websites, not only related to antiques but even to the English gardens! As this address of ARNE MAYNARD , one of the most talented garden designers in the UK.   “Attention to detail, both in the planting and the structure of the garden is paramount, and natural materials, from stone to timber, figure prominently and these are always sourced and selected for highest quality. Arne's designs draw on a wide range of references from architecture to garden history, and from interior design to often long-forgotten traditional crafts and techniques. He will use details such as the coping for a wall, the design of a gate or a garden building to add another dimension and bring to a garden a further layer of interest and complexity.” is explained on Arne’s website.   Arne Maynard’s garden in Wales.   Arne Maynard has a holistic approa...

Hi everyone, unfortunately my cold seems to have got worse but nothing is going to stop me from blogging today about a really fantastic art exhibition called "Fleur's Exhibition" being held at the International Art Centre in Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand.  I don't personally have any pieces of my art in this exhibition as I market my own work, however there are some absolutely gorgeous paintings of flowers and also by co-incidence, my other love in life, shoes!  Not exactly the 4" Tango shoes I have in my wardrobe but beautiful shoes nevertheless. A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a sneak preview of some of the paintings to be showcased in this exhibition. It was a beautiful sunny day and I felt like some inspiration, so off I went to look at the galleries in Parnell, including the International Art Centre.  The owner of the gallery was present that day and a really approachable and lovely woman to talk to.  We got chatting ab...

Happy Memorial Day weekend! After a wedding that lasted until the wee hours of the morning I am so very happy to have a relaxing day ahead of me, I need more time to "recooperate" from such nights as the years creep up!  I must vent and have a feeling I will have some sympathizers out there.......Blogger I am VERY upset with you, my nearly 500 followers all of whom I cherish and am soooo grateful to have somehow had disappeared into thin air for three days..... where oh where had they gone?  You finally brought them back to me this morning. All week long I have been getting emails from one blogger after another telling me their woes with you. This is not right. Lost posts that we all worked darn hard on. Followers who are no more. Inability to post comments all week long. Now I found out my very original post is gone, totally vanished...poof! I mean my very first post , my induction into blogworld is a VERY BIG DEAL and to not have that is incredibly upsetting. I implore ...
